The East Aurora facility is among 252 of the nation’s 461 mail processing centers slated to close because of the postal service’s financial woes, the Aurora Beacon-News reported.

There will be a public hearing this Thursday night at the Copley Theater, at 23 E. Grand Blvd. in Aurora, but written comments will only be accepted through Tuesday at the Central Illinois district office in Bedford Park, the newspaper reported.

In addition to the Aurora facility, the cuts to the U.S. Postal Service would also close the Irving Park processing center, at 11560 W. Irving Park Rd. near O’Hare International Airport, as Gary, Ind., processing center.

Operational changes are also expected to the Main Post Office at 433 W. Harrison St.
